People are struggling to access betting website Bet365, it has been reported.

When the ECHO tried to access Bet365 the an error message came up and said: "bet365 is currently unavailable. We should be back shortly." It was reported the app is also suffering issues meaning people are unable to collect their winnings. Downdector also reported there was an outage of the website at around 6pm on Saturday.

One person said on Twitter: "@bet365 trying to check my bet during the National. Still can’t get in. What’s going on?"

Another Twitter user added: "Still cannot believe @bet365 have login problem. Worst experience ever!" A third person also said: "@bet365 shouldn’t you put up an announcement? Why is the site still down? It’s taking a long time to fix!"

Users of other betting websites including SkyBet, Ladbrokes and William Hill all reported problems with their websites. Visitors saw error messages or pages which failed to load when they checked the site after the final race at the Grand National.

Waley-Cohen’s mount Noble Yeats - a 50/1 shot - powered home, seeing off the favourite Any Second Now, ridden by Mark Walsh. He becomes the first amateur to win the race since 1990 and retires having won seven races on the Grand National course, making him the most successful course jockey of the modern era.

He has also won the Cheltenham Gold Cup, on Long Run in 2011 and won the delayed 2010 King George VI Chase in January 2011 on the same horse.
